EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the divine essence of the god Re during the Saite Period in ancient Egypt. Crafted from bronze and adorned with gold, this exquisite piece is encrusted with glass paste, adding a mesmerizing touch to its already enchanting beauty. The god Re, also known as Horakhty, is depicted here as a falcon-headed deity emerging from a solar disk. This representation symbolizes his association with the sun and its life-giving energy. The intricate details of this artwork showcase the skill and craftsmanship of Egyptian artisans during the 26th Dynasty (664-525 BC). Displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this artifact offers us a glimpse into Egypt's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to their deep reverence for gods like Re who played significant roles in their belief system. In Egyptian mythology, Re was not only associated with sunlight but also represented justice and truth through Maat - symbolized by the feather he holds. This connection between light and truth highlights how important these values were to ancient Egyptians. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back thousands of years to an era where gods reigned supreme and art served as both religious devotion and artistic expression.
